How many miles out of your original OEM Brake Pads?
looks like i got the poop end of the stick- i had to change my pads at ONLY 14K MILES!!!!!!! all the stop n go here in nyc is killer man.... had to get the discs resurfaced too.
im at 24k miles on the dot right now and the front brakes feel a little funny. next time im going to the dealer for an oil change (25k miles), i'm going to ask what the problem with the front brakes. when i am on an uphill and reversing, as i apply the brakes, i hear a knocking sound coming from the front wheel wells.
when the dealer tells me the problem, im going to take my car to a non-dealer mechanic and have it fixed ;-D l0l

this is the stuff im considering --
http://www.buybrakes.com/store/BR25863 - brembo - $70 per rotor
http://www.buybrakes.com/store/45-08220U - Ceramic Brake Pads - $58 for a set.
or a set of rotors + pads - from 365 motorworks (SL member)

the stock pads wore out at 14k. assuming they used the same type of pads when they replaced mine, i figure i have to do the brakes again at 28k miles or more. i'm at about 24k miles now. so i'm going to buy these components within the next couple of months.
I'm just a few miles short of 96K and the fronts are starting feel a little rough. Had to replace a wheel bearing a few weeks ago and the backs were still good. I'm tempted to drive it until it chews the rotors and then I'll have an excuse to get some slotted ones...
